He just came out of the pits and his tire fell off, but you gotta give JJ props for finishing with a top 10 after that late tire blow

Reported on TV that the valve stem was broken off. No explanation was given as to how that happened, but it was gone.
Lots of ways it can happen, just don't know which it was.

I think he restarted around 12th after that deal, he did a good jo all day.
Here is exactly what happened:
JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE'S CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO - finished 9th (ON THE TIRE PROBLEM) "They dropped the jack and I was taking off. They were going for the last lug nut and when the gun went in and the tire was rotating, the valve core caught the gun and just ripped it right out of the wheel."
(DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM?) "No, I found out when I got on the backstretch and I was trying to accelerate. I thought I had punctured it driving around on the apron. It was so dirty down there."
